McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y

Symbolic Representation

“Management cannot provide a man with self-respect or with the respect of his

fellows or with the satisfaction of needs for self-fulfilment. It can create conditions such that he is encouraged and enabled

to seek such satisfactions for himself, or it can thwart him by failing to create those

conditions.”
